Lupton Steel Casements 
UPTON Casements of Copper- 


Steel are a combination of 
beautiful craftsmanshipand precise 
construction. They are an adapta- 
tion of traditional European design 
to our American genius for quantity 
production. 


These two elements,— approved de- 
sign and standardized manufacture, 
have produced, in Lupton Case; 
ments, windows which are not 
only charming but practical. They 
open and close easily in all weath- 
ers, and are weather-tight. Solid 
welded construction makes them 
extremely rigid, free from warping 
or sagging, and their copper-steel 
members give them greater resist- 
ance to corrosion. 


Extended hinges permit both sides 
of the’ slass to be washed’ trom 
the interior of the room. 


As for economy, the moderate first 
cost of Lupton Casements is a sound 
investment 1n permanence. 


Lupton dealers throughout the 
country are at your service.

The Importance of Windows 


ONSIDER the windows for a 

moment. [hey give us the 

joys of outdoors—daylight, air, 

color and action—and they protect 
us from undesirable elements. 


Windows have to do with all the 
hours we spend indoors. They 
provide light and ventilation; they 
determine the arrangement of our 
furniture; they influence our decora- 
tions; and by their placement they

this should be trimmed on the edges only. A bit of 
bright chintz will give the desired air of lightness. 


Inviting the Breezes in 


OME houses give an impression 

of freshness and airiness the 
instant you enter them. Others

difference, aside from the cheerful 
or gloomy attitude of the house- 
holder, is largely due to the char- 
acter and placement of the windows. 


Windows help to make the home 
satisfying or the reverse; to make 
it a pleasant place for work and 
play, or merely a headquarters in 
which one rarely cares to linger. 


W helesome airinmess. them, 1s) ¢s- 
sential to hominess. The breezes 
must be invitedin. Far more than 
the slide-up-and-down windows, 
casements extend a successful in- 
vitation to fresh air. The out- 
swung position of an open case- 
ment deflects vagrant breezes into

currents of air from a wide angle 
and through a full opening. 


And steel casements have still an- 
other advantage over the old- 
fashioned window, in that they 
open easily and close tightly in all 
weathers. They operate so easily 
that they are an inducement to 
ventilate. Steel casements really 
do help to invite the breezes in.

Moving the Hot Air out 


MERICAN ingenuity has been 
c busy with labor-saving devices 
for the kitchen, but even the latest 
electric assistant fails to inspire 
enthusiasm unless there is fresh 
air and good light in which to 
enjoy it. Therefore, speak up for 
casements, ladies, and take joy in 
your kitchens! 


A bright kitchen—a cool kitchen— 
a kitchen nice enough to live in 
and visit in—the kind where one 
just. loves to. putter—is the ideal 
Of Vevclye woman. Uncte= arent 
very many such kitchens, because 
women haven't had enough to 
say about windows—the size, the 
kind and where they should be 
placed. But now women have 
achieved the vote and they are also 
demanding proper ventilation. 
They get it, too, when they insist 
on Lupton windows — economical 
casements of copper-steel. 


Casements, as everyone knows, are 
the best ventilatorsand givethemost 
light, but until you've actually 
seen them ina kitchen, you'll never 
realize how they invite neat little 
curtains and a flower pot; howthey 
make this.end of the house unu- 
sually attractive. 


LUPTON STEEL CASEMENTS as a@ decorative 
feature in the dining room overshadow even the draperies. 
They harmonize with any period of furniture. 


A Cheerful Dining Room 
GSECAUSE a cheerful disposition 


induces good digestion, your 
dining room should have a bright 
and acncetitin even ay testive walt. 
Where the united family and 
friends so often assemble, every- 
thing about the room should be of 
the pleasantest sort. 


And what could be more cheerful 
than ae-casement i the dining- 
room wall—a casement placed low 
enough so that all may sce out 
as they enjoy their daily meals? 


When snugly closed the dining 
room casement gives a cosy feeling 
inside, while it frames and enhances 
the view without. Flung wide 
open in Spring and Summer, its 
generous expanse establishes an 1n- 
timacy with the outdoors. 


Another point in favor of dining- 
room casements appeals particu- 
larly to the careful hostess who 
would never permit her guests to 
dine in a room bearing traces of 
cooking odors. Opening the case- 
mentspior ja few ‘minutes, before 
dinner time quickly flushes stuffy 
air out of the room and leaves it 
fresh—ready. for keen appetites and 
agreeable conversation. 


LUPTON STEEL CASEMENTS give @ bedroom 
plenty of air and light, and make wt a room that 
invites you to linger to perform your household tasks. , 


The Homiest Room in the 
W hole House 


6 HO doesn't enjoy a light, 
airy bedroom with ruffled 
muslin at the casements—a room, 
where it is restful and pleasant to 
settle down, and almost a pleasure 
to take up the mending basket? 
With a little more attention to 
bedrooms while building, they can 
be made useful and homey the 
whole day round. Good ventila- 
tion, plenty of light, dainty cur- 
tains, tasteful coloring, a_ nice 
arrangement of furniture, all are 
essential to an inviting bedroom, 
and these depend largely upon a 
proper choice’ and splacement of 
windows. 


Steel casements with their full 
light-giving and ventilating value, 
and their adaptability to draperies, 
are singularly well suited for bed- 
room windows. 


Casements give just the touch 
which makes the bedroom during 
the day the homtest, most restful 
room in the house. 


And at the day’s end, when you 
turn out the light, open your bed- 
room casements and feel the clean 
night air float in—then you have 
rounded out true window Joy. 


LUPTON STEEL BASEMENT WINDOWS are to 


be recommended on grounds of both economy and 
practicability. They make the basement bright and dry.

and steel basement windows have 


been the principal factor in work- 
ing this transformation. 


Gas companies, heater manufac- 
turers, oil-burner men, to say 
nothing» of steel-window makers, 
all are bent on educating the public 
to the value of a basement as an 
efficient contribution to the family 
happiness and economy. 


And women are fast taking advan- 
tage of the numerous recommen- 
dations offered. Now that they 
know what an improvement steel 
windows make in the laundry, and 
how they give Dad a workshop or 
billiard room and supply a winter 
playroom for Junior and his 
gangs, you; may be sure that
